Acetamiprid is popular for crop protection against piercing-sucking pests and is highly effective for flea control in cats and dogs. Repeated oral administration of acetamiprid at the dose rate of 1.5 mg kg(-1) day(-1) for 21 consecutive days in buffalo calves did not exhibit any significant toxic signs. It however produced significant elevation in plasma aspartate aminotransferase (14 %), alanine aminotransferase (35.98 %) and gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (30.26 %), whereas no significant effect was observed on total plasma protein, blood cholinesterase, lactate dehydrogenase, phosphatases, cholesterol, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and blood glucose. Present investigation reveals that acetamiprid is a mild-risk insecticide in buffalo calves.
